Crossroads

Casting the circle, then saluting the four directions: east, south, west, and north, those become the divine crossroads, a cross within a circle. The most divine part of the crossroads and circle is the center. The center is heaven, earth, and spirit. Spirit includes all powers. Spirit also works with what is called seven powers. The seven planets and the seven angels are extensions and aspects of the spirit. In the center of the circle, that is where cleaning is done, the release of old energies, and the calling up of fresh light, often called a "raising" or a renewal of good luck. There is always a cleaning followed by a blessing. Another word for your personal soul is your shadow. We come raising your name, raising your shadow, we come raising your good luck in the power of the spirit. After calling forth sacred space, the cross within the circle, we release or finish. Once finished, we offer blessings and a closing prayer.

Prayer Vigil

A prayer vigil is a three day intensive prayer ritual. It includes the prayers, which have a correspondence to air. There is also an offering of a candle and water. I do a simple cast, to both see how the situation looks, and what kind of guidance I am receiving from Spirit. While the ritual itself is simple, there is a lot of intuitive insight that goes along with the process. Doing an intensive, then suddenly stopping, releases a lot of energy into the prayer. I ask people to be aware of any kind of omens they might receive in their life.
The vigils are $30. This includes three days prayer work, and also a short cast.
Prayer vigils can pack a punch!! Often there is a lot that needs to be cleansed, a spiritual cleaning before new circumstances can be invoked. A number of these prayer works have brought up information to people that have had a strong affect, information that people were not completely aware of at the time of requesting the vigil. This information comes up from the omens themselves. This work is done both as a cleaning, a healing and a renewal.
